error while inserting assembly in C

Sheng Chao Wong

Hi, i got this this error while trying to add some assembly code to my C. How do i activate the src-control? Any help is appreciated. Thank you!


error C272: 'asm/endasm' requires src-control to be active

    "1) Firstly, i create a 'skeleton' C code for my desired asm. but what do u exactly mean by that? what should i type in the 'skeleton' C code?"

    A "skeleton" 'C' delay function would look some thing like this:

    void delay( unsigned char duration )
{
   // Nothing in the body - it's just a skeleton!
}
    "2) let's say i finish step1, i'm suppose to edit the .src code generated. (replace the asm code inside with my desired asm) and save it as .a51"

    The .src file will contain the assembler skeleton corresponding to the above 'C' skeleton - you will see how the parameter is passed in, and it will have all the appropriate segment names, etc.

    All you do is insert the appropriate assembler delay code into the body of the function.

    "3)delete the .c file and .src

    4) next step?"

    Add the .a51 file to your Project.
    By default, uVision recognises .a51 as an assembler source file, so it will automatically use the assembler to translate it. (you might even find that it recognises .src as asembler source - so you wouldn't even need to rename it!)

    So, this will be my 'skeleton' C code??

    #include <reg52.h>

/* Function declarations */
void delay( unsigned char duration );
/* Program routines */
void main (void)
{

}

void delay( unsigned char duration )
{
   // Nothing in the body - it's just a skeleton!
}

    and with the above C, below is the .src code generated

    Sorry for cut & paste my entire code here, i just want to make sure that i got everything right. Thanks

    " i just want to make sure that i got everything right."

    No: you need to put the delay routine in a separate 'C' file - all on its own.

    It is only the delay function that you want in assembler - you are currently converting main() as well!

    Yes - insert your assembler code there!

    Note that the value of the 'duration' parameter is being passed in R7...

    "and this will be my asm code

    No!

    You haven't inserted your assembler code where you said, have you?

    Remember that the value of the 'duration' parameter was passed in R7...

    Also, as mentioned elsewhere, don't convert 'main()' to assembler!

    Thanks! This is the 'updated' .A51 code from .src
    I included my ASM code in it, and this time i didn't include the main. Is this correct?

    "this time i didn't include the main."

    I think you must've posted the wrong code - it looks exactly the same as before.

    Remember, the only thing you need to do in assembler is the delay function; there should be no ORG, no fiddling with Ports, no CALL to the delay function - just the delay loop itself.

    Remember, the only reason you're doing this in assembler is so that you can know for sure exactly what machine instructions will be executed and, thus, exactly how long each iteration of the loop will take.
    You don't need to worry about this for the rest of your program, so you can just write that in straight 'C'
